John,
The video has been removed according to the youtube link when you click on it. Even without seeing the video, I can safely say that professional photographers are paid a lot of money for a reason! They do amazing things with people! I just looked at the Rolling Stone article about Howard Stern. He is in his late 50′s and they managed to make him look like he is in his 30′s! Airbrushing is KING these days. How do you think Playboy takes these older models and makes them look amazing? They wear out their programs, photographers and airbrushes just to sell TONS of their magazines. I know Scorcese looks rough these days. I would have liked to have seen the video so I could see what they did with him. Anyone else know where to find it?

I feel good after reading this article. If I look bad in photos, I can just chalk it up to poor lighting conditions. ;)

The entertainment industry is based on fantasy thus extending into reality. However marketing is key to selling products.It gives a consumer a false expectation making them believe that they will look like the person in the ad but in reality the person in the ad does not even look like that person in the ad. Fantasy=Product=Expectation=Consumer=$$$$

In this case…Photoshop is only 10% of the picture…That’s why they pay $10.000/picture :)

Martin Scorcese looks great ? Uhm, well the photograph is good.

BTW I’m sure there’s heaps of hair and makeup involved as well.

I had bookmarked this post, not for the topic but for the excellent video which is a perfect example of a Time-Lapse video. Dont forget the tonnes of man hours invested on photoshop, for giving the finishing looks.

I had read somewhere that no one can take a perfect picture every single time. The inexperienced can snap a good picture say 2-3 times out of 10, which a professional will do it say around 5 times out of 10. This book then had gone on to mention what you can do to increase your batting average to 4-5 too and these were the tricks of the trade. I have put some of them into practice on a consistent basis and can say that my ratio of good vs. bad pictures has certainly improved.

So what you meant to say is that they do it because they are experienced & facilitated.I think this is the right way to take it.This motivates me to pick up my camera & start experimenting.Not easy but not impossible to capture photographs as beautiful as celebrities.

… good photography is a real skill. saves a lot of time on photoshop. I work with some under-water photoPros (no I am not the model). Next to the equipment the most important thing is “Time”. Getting your motive used to the diver. Many people have UW cameras, taking 100 of pictures on a dive. Most Pros taking 15-25 (some still swear on slides, not ) and may have 1 or 2 real exiting pictures out of them, while the “snapshooters” have 10 ok-picutres, but none of them can cause any excitement…
But even with a “cheap” setup but a lot of time you can get some great results. Have a look…
one of that dives

I am a pro photographer and this video is a testament to getting it right in camera. Thanks for posting this video. Hopefully, it will serve as education for the masses on how photography is really a skill!
